Sangwon (Kim Minhee), an actress recently returned to South Korea, is temporarily staying with her friend, Jungsoo (Song Sunmi), and her cat, Us. Elsewhere in the city, the aging poet Uiju (Ki Joobong) lives alone, his cat having recently passed away. On this ordinary day, each of them has a visitor: Sangwon is visited by her cousin, Jisoo (Park Miso) and Uiju, by a young actor, Jaewon (Ha Seongguk). Each of them wants to learn about a career in the arts. But they also have bigger questions. Both Sangwon and Uiju have ramyun noodles for lunch and they both add hot pepper paste to their ramyun noodles, not a very common thing to do. As our friends talk and drink the day away, similarities between these encounters multiply and we begin to realize they may be more than just mere coincidence.

Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle A film that feels like a worthy addition to an existing exhibition, rather than the opening of a whole new gallery wing. Rated: 3/5 Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Christian Zilko indieWire It’s the kind of film that might be described as a “crowdpleaser” with minimal irony in niche indie film circles. Rated: B May 17, 2024 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com [I]t’s a plain-looking, often wry, and lightly nourishing character study with a diptych structure that adds enigmatic intrigue to the proceedings. Rated: 3/4 May 17, 2024 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine The actors, who have all worked with Hong [Sang-soo] before or will do so again, give engaging, naturalistic performances, and it's hard not to detect some autobiography, particularly in Uiju's character. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies It's a human and occasionally touching film, though it demands patience from viewers, asking them to find pleasure in the small moments and connect with its characters, a task that may not always come easily. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) [In Our Day] is pure Hong Sangsoo. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Richard B Another low key movie that has deep themes that anyone can relate to. Characters look to others to find what they should imitate and refuse to look to themselves first. One character buys soap because people in Brazil like it. One loves poetry and yearns for an authentic life. Another likes cigarettes and alcohol, despite health problems. A beloved cat that likes to eat and follow instincts goes missing. A popular soup is eaten in different ways, for better or for worse. A guitar is a good present for some people but not for others. Personal preference and appreciation ties it all together, and one can simply wait for ones inspiration to guide them through different phases of life. It doesn't have to be so complicated. A lot of stress is let go of when the ultimate search is given up. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
